02 accord

Before valve lash adjustment:

After valve lash adjustment:

Engine idles smooth after the adjustment, but the knocking is still there. The first vid was taken when the engine was still somewhat cold, but it made that noise when cold and warm. The second vid was taken with the engine warmed up.

It should be obvious that the car is an 02 accord. The engine is an f23a1.

doesnt really sound any different, you have to let it work the new adjustments in its ususaly louder at first then it quiets down

It's not a valve knock that I'm talking about. I know that the valves make some noise, but this sounds like a diesel engine running. Right after the adjustment, I noticed that the engine runs much smoother (less knocking/ticking from the valves). Now, at idle, the original knocking is almost silent, but as the engine speed increases a little bit, the knocking becomes audiable. It sounds like it's coming from the lower-inside of the engine.

Reads like a rod bearing, but its an 02 so i doubt it. But who knows....
